I'm using ClamXav on my mac. I've read this, and I am aware of the whole macs-need-no-AV-but-they-do-anyway discussion. I guess that's why I would feel like a real ass if I somehow managed to compromise my system!

So ClamXav has been downloaded and ClamXav Sentry set up to start on log-in, but it doesn't really do anything before you tell it to. Specifically, you have to tell it which folders to watch for virusses/vira so I'm wondering, where are good places to look?

Currently it's been set up to look the following places:

In the home folder:

1. ~/Downloads
2. ~/Library/Caches
3. ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items
4. ~/Library/Cookies
5. ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
6. ~/Library/LaunchAgents

In my system folder:

1. /Library/Application Support
2. /Library/Caches
3. /Library/Contextual Menu Items
4. /Library/Cookies
5. /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
6. /Library/LaunchAgents
7. /Library/LaunchDaemons
8. /Library/Startupitems

Basically, this is 100% conjecture. All (most of) the folders have something to do with internet and things that start up automatically, so I'm guessing that's where vira go. But still, the qustion:

• Which folders should ClamXav Sentry watch, if any?

FYI, I'm not using any mail app's, but please include that in your answer for anyone who might be interested.

Cheers!
